Bay of Plenty

Tauranga Moana, within the Bay of Plenty is New Zealand’s fastest growing city, where doing things differently isn’t so different. Tauranga has a strong innovation community where there is a purposeful investment in local skills and critical thinkers, from our rangatahi to our working population. We take pride in initiatives such as Māori Steam, Yia and the continuous development of digital innovation within Māori communities. Priority One and Toi Kai Rawa collaborate to enable Tauranga Moana’s people to flourish.

The home of agritech start-ups welcomes the idea that “never in human history has the present been so temporary”. So the more people that we can empower with innovative design thinking tools and solving real problems in our local community the better.

Our collaborative city is bustling with entrepreneurs and businesses with a strong focus on sustainable innovative technology and world changing ideas.
